Month: November 2017

Card making, Stampendous Stamps

Stampendous November Blog Hop!

Robyn Wood

Each month I am creating a project with Stampendous stamps to inspire you. You also have a chance to win them via the monthly blog hop competition run by The Stencil Specialists, the Australian wholesaler for Stampendous.

This month we are using the Frog Yoga stamp set and I’ve created a cute card for you. The image is coloured with Distress Oxide inks, I love how they layer to create a wonderful blotchy effect that mimics a frog skin so well.

Art Journal

Life is Good – Guest DT Post for Couture Creations

Robyn Wood

Life is Good!

It sure seemed like that when I recently received a lovely pack of goodies to create some mixed media projects for Couture Creations. It was fun to stretch my creative muscle and use colours that aren’t my ‘usual’.  Pop by the Couture Creations blog to check out details of how my art journal page came together.

My pack included some of the Couture Creations Anna Griffin Texture Paste & Couture Creations pigment powders so I decided to use them in a way similar to paper clay to create a unique embellishment for my page.

A huge thanks to Couture Creations for inviting me to be a guest designer, check out their product range while you visit the blog – so many wonderful goodies to play with! I hope you enjoy checking out my project.
